Trying to Explain

It's interesting to watch over time how things both change and remain the same.

It's interesting ............irony, funny, odd, bizarre, contradictory, mundane, nice
to watch ....................observe on all levels, sense, examine, lap up
over time ...................historically/momentarily
how things ..................people, subjects, meanings
both ........................at the same time and independently
change ......................molt, transform, reinvent
and remain the same..........resist, take refuge, stay, rebuttal, organize, dogmatize

We can see with great curiosity that while what happens in life seems to continue on uninterruptedly, it also changes by evolution, new concepts of technology, or reinvention of application. The same is also true in reverse though, that while the news seems to present ever-new events, if we were honest with ourselves, the reality is that over time, the same things tend to happen, a different color, a new name, or a new wrapper, the same old thing just turned around on another side.

Examples:

1.

Beneath the paint
in her room,
flecks of pink.

2.

She carried
her scars
on her diploma.

3.

Racism is dead
when the other races
are dead.

4.

I explained
how the sounds
were only human.

5.

Each child knows
that parents are okay later
when he has his own children.

6.

The meaning of love
is based on the premise
that nothing else matters.

7.

I am intolerant
of intolerant people,
and so I am bitter.

8.

Everything is exactly the way I left it,
although nothing is exactly
the way I remember it.

9.

He wants to be given a chance
to be understood,
and so he fires the first shot.

10.

I have always never
wanted to only try
to accomplish the mediocre.
